Aktiv Tours is owned by me, Dominic Rustemeyer, and is led by my passion for nature and adventure.
Embark on exhilarating journeys led by me, your ultimate adventure companion! With a passion for exploration and a knack for adventure, I will curate unforgettable experiences amidst nature's breath-taking landscapes, just for you.
From heart-pounding treks through rugged terrains to awe inspiring hikes amidst the best that nature has to offer, I can offer you an adventure that transcends boundaries and leaves you with memories to last a lifetime.
Unleash your inner explorer and conquer new horizons with me, your guide to adventure.
I have been a guide for over 10 years, and one of the aspects that is incredibly important to me (as important as your adventure!), is your safety. Therefor I qualified as a Wilderness First Responder.
This means I have advanced training in wilderness emergency care for the wilderness professional or serious adventurer. Adapted for remote African conditions the course I completed is more intensive and comprehensive than similar courses in the USA and UK.
As your true wilderness professional, I realise my responsibility to my clients and colleagues. Therefor I obtained the best training possible for the conditions I work, and have an adventure, in. This course that I completed meets, and exceeds, the international norm for adventure guides.
To make sure that you get the absolute best experience, I completed my qualification as a National Mountain Walking Guide.
This qualification is over and above my foundation guiding qualification (which allowed me to register with the Department of Tourism and work as a legally registered adventure guide in South Africa), and includes competency in various technical skills.
This means that I have an incredibly versatile skillset in adventure mountain guiding.
My added skills include: equipment; mountain leadership; group dynamics; mountain hazards; self-defence for mountain guides; advanced navigation; safety-on-steep-ground and rope work; basic self-rescue; and much more.
